Recent Clues:
Clue #1 Congrats to the finder, to all a reminder
To hunt hard from first to last clues
Medallion I is history. Now a new mystery
Begins -- strap on your hunting shoes
To some its demented, for all unprecedented
But hunters’ thirst must be quenched
Tell sister and brother we’ve hidden another
In a park where a body can be benched
Our 2nd prize? Don’t laugh -- 10-thou cut in half
So get out there even if it’s snowy
And as a special bonus -- some might say an onus --
A meal with our own Clueless Joey
Good hunting to you, let this be the first clue
Think of a woodsy retreat
It won’t be so hard if you channel the bard
You’ll get warm and smell pretty sweet

:neutral:
Maybe on a pole around the field somewhere. I'll have to go look for that in daylight.
Torture is right, Otis. I was set to go out if the clue had given us anything to go out for...but now I can stay home, get some shut-eye and have nightmares about larks and sirens.
this is an odd clue.
revolt?
the last time I was there for a hunt...
I believe it was that Wild Flag hunt (before Mounds was discovered to be the park), some jacka** tried to run me down with his car.
 :coolfrown:
noun
1. a sea nymph (part woman and part bird) supposed to lure sailors to destruction on the rocks where the nymphs lived; "Odysseus ordered his crew to plug their ears so they would not hear the Siren's fatal song"
2. a woman who is considered to be dangerously seductive [syn: enchantress]
3. a warning signal that is a loud wailing sound
4. an acoustic device producing a loud often wailing sound as a signal or warning

Great!.... this time an Eel ate the donut...

I actually work along Energy Park Drive and hear that civil defense siren from over in the direction of McMurray field, but have never paid attention to where it might be when I'm over there.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this clue is siren = women who sing you to death in the ocean in mythology...

Wolfpac,
I'm glad you see the humor! My friends thought they'd take advantage of the fact that I've been awake for over 36-hours and hadn't read any of the message boards today (They are not medallion hunters and poke fun at me every year. One year, though, I WILL prove them wrong!) They didn't realize I was going to post it, in an attempt to help other hunters. I'm sorry for the confusion. It was an honest mistake. PROMISE:) I guess it's par for the course today. I came home to find my car was the victim of a hit-and-run, over $1500 worth of damage!

I'm not sure if this will work, but this is that SharkAttack's excuse for posting the fake clue. Claims that some friends sent it to him and they aren't even hunters? Then what are they doing in here reading our posts?
"The term "siren song" refers to an appeal that is hard to resist but that, if heeded, will lead to a bad result."
so is Como so hard for us to resist...does it seem too easy....if we follow the"siren song" are we doomed to fail??
Good night all
night!

Marley - The one walk in the park thing was someone with the last name of rose, right? It's the only possible help I'm seeing from here - being a flower with a thorn, smells sweet, etc.
There are no dead areas with cell phones any longer in the east metro, are there?
The siren is a creature with a song. Ribbit, ribbit.
The frog pond is on the Max Metzger side of the park.
The conservatory and ball fields are in sight and it's known the golf course is yonder to that side.
And they put it where the sun don't shine!
LOL!!!!!!
He also was the substitute band teacher for my kids while they were in grade school and participated in one of his productions - The Music Man - at the Como Pavillion.
The street signs looked fairly new, they must have dedicated after he died. Wasn't much info on him.
Also found this on revolt- any connections anywhere?

Heed the siren of your desirin'
And do not revolt against this poem
If Como is our siren song(posts 1271/1273), and we should not revolt against our siren song (poem) then it won't bring devastation it will bring sucess.
Follow your siren song!
and revolt could refer to the battles of midway or lexington...
See you at Como, hopefully sunny if not warm!
throwin in some red bull and rockstar at the last minute ...
Gonna be a Red Bull day!
I won't make these up anymore... That is why I usually had posted something like "hot off of the 2:04 press!" next to it so you know I was making it up...
Hope this didn't send someone the wrong way... It was meant to say that we weren't given any good solid clues to hunt, and that unless you saw the puck drop, you won't find it yet...
There is a nastier one on the unmoderated thread... hope that don't make it on here... :chagrin:
